[1] Judge Lewis, whom I have quoted more than once in this history, had
a way of saying with prodigious gravity that the Gwynnes as a family
were not without some of the weaknesses of genius; a remark which they
innocently liked to repeat until Gwynne Peters, the only one of them
all who ever discovered the slightest sense of humour, pointed out its
ambiguity.--M. S. W.
[2] Caroline, poor woman, only died the other day, at nearly ninety,
I think; she must have outlived the "last of the Gwynnes" upwards of
thirty years.--M. S. W.
